First Tricycle


Here is our big boy riding his first tricycle. And, oh my goodness, he loves it! Danny has been looking for a trike with a tall handle on the back for him to push (without breaking his back). So, we were having dinner at the house of friends the other night, and they had one that their children had outgrown. They oh-so-kindly gifted it to us, and Britton has been a happy camper since. For the first couple of days, it sat on our patio, and Britton would stand at the window pointing and saying "eh" "eh" "eh." It was a struggle at first to keep Britton's feet on the stationery bar (he is a long way away from reaching the pedals), but he quickly figured out that the key to riding was keeping his feet up. He and Danny now cruise the neighborhood on the tricycle each evening. It is a sweet time. So fun for us to see him enjoy being outside and doing big boy things.

Danny--- ask Britton's PT to help you use a block or "fake" foot slot to help him keep his feet up... But having him scoot backwards and then forward is a good step too. Those PT's are great prepping for bike skills.
